INTERACTION

"Look, Mum - that dinosaur's drowning. Shouldn't someone try to help him?"

I've had a couple of emails in the last week asking whether "Success ..." is available as an e-book. My answer, rather embarrassedly, is "No - but, obviously, it should be."

So, I'm resolved to turn Success into an e without further delay. The only slight thing is ........... can anyone tell me where to begin? Is there an ebook equivalent of a vanity press, that'll do the job for you? Or some sort of collectivist website? Or ...

I really haven't a clue as to how to get started on this. Any advice very gratefully received.

Why not upload it to Kindle, Mat?
It can be viewed on a Kindle/PC/Android phone, perhaps more. You make an account on Amazon, follow their instructions, use a Kindle-based program (you download free from them) to see the results on PC, set a price and away you go. It will take about 24hrs to go live.

Many thanks, Bob, that's very helpful. That's certainly the sort of thing I'm looking for, I think (though not this specific example; I won't have anything to do with the gangsters who run Amazon: http://buddyhell.wordpress.com/2010/12/ ... on-a-miss/).

Take a look at Smashwords Mat:-

I find Feedbooks very handy for creating ebooks, even ones I don't want to give away on there. You can set the book up on there, download epub and mobi previews without publishing, and use those for other retailers. The free program Sigil is useful for tweaking the epub.

Many thanks, both - I'll look into both of those.

Nothing to do with this thread, actually, but - those of you (and there are a few around here, I know) who share my love of funny press cuttings might want to know that I am now posting a headline every day, chosen from my lifelong collection, on Twitter, under the name MatsHeadlines.

I'm actually hoping to publish another book of them some time, and trying to build up some prior interest.

Does anyone here sell books through their website? What's the best way to do it - paypal?
